In a very short time this area went from beautiful rice field walking area a short walk from downtown ubud to just another place with so many tourists and so much stuff for sale you don’t notice farmers or hear sounds of rice field life. Now it’s sounds of motorbikes and construction and commercial spaces— like the rest of downtown. One of my favorite scenic stretches of rice field here is now an ugly charmless zero lot line villa development. Go to tegallalang.

Probably the fastest and closest way to experience walking through rice field in the center of Ubud. There's a wooden sign off the main road next to the museum that will lead you to the magical, green rice paddies. It so calm and relaxing. Theres a restaurant, very good one that I highly recommend - Sweet Orange Warung. The path will loop around once you get to the top, turn right and it will lead you back to the center of town.

Nice walk through the rice fields. If you haven’t yet seen rice fields in Bali, this is a great little taste.
There is a restaurant on the rice where I think they offer cooking classes but we didn’t stop. Can walk all the way around back to ubud if you turn right at the top.
The entrance is to the right of the museum puri Lakisan, there is a sign post on the main road. See picture attached. You have to walk down an alley for a while until you reach the opening and the rice fields

Our home stay family put us on to a great walk above Ubud through the rice fields that's well worth a visit. The walk commences at Jl Kaleng, which runs north from the main Jl Raya Ubud, about 50 metres west of the Ubud Market. The street is easily recognised by the messages in the pavement. After starting up a gentle incline along the street which is lined with the usual shops, day spa's and traditional home compounds you will wind your way up to a place where a sign denotes the Juwuk Manis Rice Field Walk - no cars permitted. From here you follow the path further up an incline and before you know it, you pop out into the rice fields above Ubud. The path changes from paved to dirt, and there can be occasional puddles in places if it's rained recently, but it winds its way gently through changing scenery, a few narrow bridge culverts and eventually you will come to a bridge which is overshadowed by the rear of a large hotel building. It is here that you need to cross the bridge and take the track on your left, which will take you back through the rice fields and down into Ubud. Along the path there are a number of warungs, guest houses, day spas, art shops and yoga studios. Eventually you will meet back up with Jl Raya Ubud about 1km to the west of where you started. All in all the walk is about 5km long and is suitable for moderately fit people of all ages. The reward for your effort is expansive views of the beautiful rice field scenery, along with some great architecture and local culture.

While other walks can be packed with tourists, this is a real treasure where you see the beauty of rural Bali.

This walk is lovely and very few tourists seemed to take it when we were there around 9am one morning. It is almost completely lined with palm trees, making for lots of nice shade, which is needed in that Bali heat.
The entrance to this walk is just before the Puri Lukisan Museum. Turn Right at the wooden sign that says “SUBAK JUWUK MANIS (Magical Rice Field in Ubud)”. You will be on a tiny, narrow, sometimes steep path following the wall of the museum for about 3 minutes, before it pops you out into the promised “magical rice fields”. Another 5 minutes up the path, and you will pass the adorable Sweet Orange Warung.
If you continue the path and follow the curve, you will come to a point where you can decide to turn Left or Right. Going right will lead you out to Jl. Kajeng, which will eventually take you back out to the main road, Jl. Raya Ubud. This makes for a quick 30 minute trip (start to finish), but only half of it (~15 min) will be spent in rice fields area. The other half is on Jl. Kajeng.
If you prefer to spend more time in the rice fields, I suggest taking the Left after the curve instead. This path dead ends into the jungle with a large, steep ravine to your left. So you will have to turn around and double back on yourself, but it allows for another 15-20 minutes of walking in the fields before heading back out into the madness of central Ubud.
*NOTE, you CAN technically make your way through the jungle at the north end of the path to eventually find yourself on the other side of the ravine. This is the other, more popular rice field walk, where Sari Organik is. BUT, we only made it over there because a local came by eventually and saw that we were lost and lead us. The path is not well trodden, and after following her through, I feel confident in saying that there is 0% chance that we would have made it there on our own. So do not expect to be able to find it either unless you are led. GPS will do nothing for you in this situation.

It can be a lit bit tricky to find the head trail. It is about 500 meters from the Ubud Palace on the right side if you walk towards the Campuhan Ridge walk. The entrance is into the tiny line but on the wall you can see a small sign saying : Subak Juwuk Manis(Rice fields) Ubud.I found this little gem when strolling around Jl. Raya Ubud. In guidebooks not many details about this hidden place, the closes paddy fields to the centre of Ubud. It s less visited then Campuhan Ridge walk, you will mostly encounter locals working on the fields. Some warungs available on the trail.
A nice escape from the bustling Ubud. This is great place to walk, relax and enjoy the stunning landscape,

This walk starts at the T-junction Jl. Subak Sok Wayah (small street) near the Laundry and the main street Jl. Raya Ubud. The first metres goes thru a small footpath, but it's wide enough for a motorbike, but not a car. Thereafter you will see a paved footpath and you see the first rice paddies. It is among other things the road to Sari Organik restaurant. Also, you walk along the beautiful rice fields and see many ducks those keep the fields clean. Things have changed the last years, now you see more and more restaurants, yoga bungalows and shops. But the trail is nice, it is along rice fields and coconut trees. You see women working on the rice fields (in June). Half way you have a possibility to take a rest and you can buy a fresh coconut with a farmer or warung (shop). Choice 1: Then you can downwards, cross over a little bridge and go to the other side. Walk along the narrow concrete edge of the little irrigation canal. Keep following this path, and see the big cement tiles lying with names. Then you come in the Jalan Kajeng. Choice 2) Another possiblity is to follow the footpath at the upper side of the coconut farmer. It is much further, about 5 km extra, but very nice. You see more rice fields, coconut trees and painter artists. At the end, you want back to Ubud, you have to follow the road on the right hand. Then you will seen a brand new hotel: Pyramids of Chi, then you see Cafe Bintang, after this you come along Pura Dalem Bentuyung Temple. Walk further and you come thru a few desa's , finally you come in Ubud at the Traditional Art.

This one can be tricky to find, because it is only entered in a narrow, little visible alley on the east side of the Puri Lukisan Museum. Then you wind your way between dwellings to finally emerge in the open paddy. It is a lovely walk, particularly at dawn with the sun illuminating Volcano Agung far to the east. Because it is little known, there are far fewer people on this path and a huge plus, no scooters. The paddy is one of the most emerald around Ubud, a real visual joy. And the path leads to Sweet Orange Warung, one of the best hidden gems around. Just before you get to the Warung, there is a congenial old couple selling coconuts for only 10k, a nice cool down from the afternoon heat. But a problem if you are going to eat, because it will fill you up. Just past the Warung the path is paved over and turns hard right behind some villas before rejoining the main path going back to Jalan Kajeng. Obviously you can also reach Sweet Orange this way but it is longer. When you emerge from Jalan Kajeng into the paddy, look back at the junction and you will see Coco Wayan, a hut with a friendly English speaking herb specialist.
